Abstract
IBM will remove support for the following Operating Systems from the next
version release of Sterling B2B Integrator and Sterling File Gateway
1. iSeries.
2. HP-UX.
3. Solaris
Content
IBM has recognized that above three Operating Systems as nonstrategic in the
market and for all our on-premise software, There is more focus on Linux
platforms, primarily Red Hat and Ubuntu based Operating Systems. This is part
of IBM's larger shift to Cloud Computing based platforms as there is a major
shift in the paradigm in that direction.
This will not affect any currently in-Support and in-Market versions of
Sterling B2B Integrator or Sterling File Gateway. These versions will follow
their usual life-cycles including Client Support. This change will only happen
in the next major release. Therefore it is advised to customers on these
platforms to move to Ubuntu or Red Hat based Operating Systems whenever they
explore any major upgrade options.
